Parenting Solo
The weekend before last, we attended the wedding of some friends, Jill and Baruch. Best wishes to the happy couple! Was a lovely celebration!
I don't even remember what I was up to that Saturday. I think I did some cooking?
The past while has been a bit intense because Julie is half a world away. She left for China Friday morning and gets back Tuesday night.
Eris has been sick and very cranky this week. Friday morning she really wanted to sleep in. She wanted to go back to sleep at daycare (which is rare), they got out the cot, and I heard she slept for an extra three-and-a-half hours. Unsurprisingly, she wasn't much interested in afternoon nap. But there was a real improvement in her mood going forward (though it still hasn't been all smooth sailing).
Friday evening, took the kid to the Elizabeth Warren rally for a bit. Ended up at a nearby music festival and got grilled cheese and strawberry lemonade from the Roxy's Grilled Cheese truck for dinner.
Saturday, we went to the zoo. Sunday, we went to the aquarium, and then I had brunch in the North End while Eris napped in the stroller.
It's started to get cold, so of course our Nest thermostat that now controls heat and AC has decided to stop holding a charge when the heat runs. Live by the smart device, I suppose. Hopefully can get that ironed out before it's even colder.
Tomorrow, I'm going back to Olin as part of campus recruiting again. Should be fun!
Eristic Improvements: Compromising sometimes... maybe?
